Commander PIowman's Return.


Commander Plowmaa returned to An
napolis yesterday on the steamer Gov.
Thomas, Capt. jeff d. Loker, of the
oyster navy. after week of inspection of
the oyster fleet and the dredging grounds
in Maryland. All the fleet were supplied
with their usual amount of ammunition
for the protection of the oyster beds.
The Commander reports no violation of
the law so far. He overhauled about one
hundred Maryland and Virginia dredgers
at work in the Potomac river, where
there appeared to be conflict of authori
ty-onc State prohibiting dredging until
the LIST of November and the other per-
hitting dredging from the 10th of Octo-
Der until the 10Th OF December. The IL
censes of these boats, though recently
issued, did not conform to the law pro-
hibiting dredging until the 1st of Novem
ber Under these conflicting circumstances
the Commander was at a quandary how
to act and consulted the Attorney Gen
eral as to his duties under the law. At
torney General Roberts gave Commander
Plowman a letter to Governor Lee. of
Virginia, with the request that the Gov
ernor and other X;Fginia officials will
take up the question of dredging fassihsss
Potomac for oysters before Nov l, the
date at which Maryland allows the dredg
ing season TO open. Virginia has issued
licenses to dredgers to open Oct. 10.
Commander Plowman left for Richmond
early this morning.

fused several shuckers work for the want

offered was untrue, that all of the packers
had all they could employ. The shuckers

esprit and played his part we'll Camille

which were attached to the fountain by
means of small chains, neither of which
are now there, having been ruthlessly
torn off by some vandal or other and car
ried away 1t would have been much bet.
ter had two iron ladels such as are at
tached to the pumps about town been
nlaced there, as they would have likely
remained and been something permanent,
